American woman living in the UK reveals the ‘wild’ British quirk that ‘keeps her up at night’

A American woman who lives in the UK shared her British oddities that she often thinks of, and sometimes they keep her awake at night ‘.

Maxine Berry Known in Tiktok @YorkshireyankHe has been living in the UK for the last 23 years, but he still has some British names he has found funny, strange or both.

Among the ‘wild’ things that leave him confused, the British postal code system, the legal protection of Swans – I’m not even talking about some of the unusual food combinations of England.

In a video shared on the channel this week, Maxine, who lives in York but originally from South Dakota, said, ‘As an American living in England, I thought I would get used to the oddities that live here.

But sometimes they keep me awake at night. Sometimes not, but sometimes they do it. ‘

First of all announced He was quite sure that he used shows like the houses under the hammer of NHS and eating me as a medicine ‘.

These two demonstrations always said he would reach this conclusion because he is on TV in the waiting rooms.

‘It doesn’t matter which hospital you went to, the waiting room has always arranged it. You know it was true, ‘he insisted.

The content creator also believed that the British was ‘a complete obsession with carpets’.

What are the beautiful tiles on the ground? In England, it would be much easier before admitting that it was ‘cold’.

“But to be honest, some beautiful tiles, some beautiful parquet floors look really good,” Maxine added.

Maxine continued its list, aimed at some ‘centuries -old laws’ in the UK, which are still in place and applicable.

For example, he showed the historical law on the protection of swans in England.

Since the 1300s, it has been decided that all swans in the country belong to the crown and subsequent laws of protection of wildlife protection, including their eggs, including their eggs, to bother or damage the swans.

Maxine saw that it was surprising and said: ‘So, technically not allowed to eat a swan because it belongs to the king, but who wants to do it? I mean, does the king eat a swan? I’m just asking. ‘

In the UK, it is really illegal to kill, eat or keep. Until 1998, killing a swan was a betrayal and remained a protected species.

Maxine, the other British oddities listed, included the postal code system, which he described as ‘quite cool’.

‘The word literally finds a front door, you can detect you with satellite accuracy’ he said.

However, when the system occasionally failed, Royal Mail surprised Maxine.

‘Royal mail will send you a card and’ I’m sorry that we will not find you, the nearest warehouse will say 45 miles away ‘he said.

Finally, the names of popular pub food dishes apparently continue at night because Maxine describes it as ‘quite wild’.

In the hole, frogs and bubbles and crucified referred to.

He said: ‘They all sound like drunk and’ Right, let’s call him a frog in the hole! It sounds fun, right? Yes, let’s do it! ‘

Is it bubble and squeak? It sounds like something magical. And if someone says they want a spotted dick, don’t put a report, ” he added.

He finished his video by asking his fans to share other strange Anglo-ketms that they could find interesting.

Tiktok fans tend to rely on carpets instead of tiles or parquet floors, and others shared other British oddities

Most people who use carpets instead of tiles to their interpretation of the British households, may be very cold in the UK, and the tiles will make a house even more cold, he noted.

“ Tiles in a cold, cold country why can we not do? Is it a sin to want to be warm? ‘One person wrote.

Another added: ‘Tiles are very cold, carpets help to protect heat.’

However, not everyone thinks the tiles are very cold, because a commentator said they were in their homes. A lot of people have wooden floors and [tiles] During the majority of my house.

‘I love our interesting names for something, it contributes to who we are,’ ‘they added.

A tiktoker gave a mini -history lesson and shared: ‘decades years ago, tiled floors meant that you were poor because the rich could buy carpets.’

A fourth person drew attention to an old law that ‘prohibiting beating your carpets on the street’.

In accordance with the Metropolitan Police Law of 1839, they referred to a law that banned such an activity as a discomfort, a limited exception to wrap a mat before 8 am.

Maxine also found that some of the pub foods were ‘quite wild’, but found that it found balloon and squeaky ‘magical’.

The law is still in place, that is, it is still illegal to defeat or shake rugs on the street in England.

Maxine frequently shares the cultural differences between England and the United States.

Earlier this year, he announced the common US habit, which he claimed to send the average Brit to ‘coma’.

It is clear that there is a lot of differences in daily life living abroad, from getting rid of garbage to the postal system and even the layouts of houses.

Maxine was fast to emphasize an amazing habit that would lead to astonishment among the British – and they are all interested in American post boxes.

He announced that American mailboxes were usually at the end of the car instead of a letter box in front of the house, like most of the UK.

However, although only ’20 feet ‘from the house, Maxine said that many Americans would actually go to receive their mails -something that they say,’ There is no excuse ‘.

In another video The most remarkable difference between the two nations is the tendency to speak clearly about money.

‘Something you will hear in America, how much someone paid for a house, or whatever,’ began.

‘I remember once you were walking around a home tour and I was told,’ We bought this couch from Ethan Allen and it was $ 1,500… And that’s our beautiful stove and how much it cost. ‘

‘The British not just talk about the differences in the money because to be honest, this is rough and why do I need to know the cost of your couch? It’s like you boast. ‘

According to him, this difference reflects a wider cultural mentality: ‘I think England people pay more attention to others… It pays attention to what others are not like, more in the US, more,’ eh, I have it and I do not do it ”.
